I see Charles point about the handshapes. And I notice how the ASL sign of "photo" is understandable- I certainly could read it ok. It just seems odd to twist something. The more I thought about it the more I wondered if there was a way to "twist" the sign slightly to indicate it's not totally sideways. Don't take my thoughts too seriously! I'm just playing with this today. Bill Valerie Sutton wrote: > SignWriting List > November 15, 2000 > > Thanks, Bill, for your diagrams. I appreciate your sharing that with > us.
